EUGÈNE AND MARIA JOLAS
Eugène Jolas (1894-1952), poet, journalist and translator, was the founding editor (with Elliot Paul) of transition. Maria Jolas (1893-1987), his wife, was a translator in her own right, as well as a school administrator and, along with Eugène, a confidant of James Joyce. More complete biographical sketches can be found in the finding aid for the Eugène and Maria Jolas Papers (GEN MSS 108).
